Chainlink Price: Whale Wallets Hit Record as LINK Tests $9.80

Whale data added a stronger token-specific signal. The Santiment-based data showed 805 wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK. That count marked an all-time high and rose 8.2% over seven weeks.　　Large wallets do not guarantee a breakout. However, a steady build can help to build confidence when prices dont move. It can also reduce active supply during short rebounds.　　For now, traders still need confirmation. LINK sits near the daily pivot around $9.55 to $9.58. A firm hold above that area could keep buyers active before the next macro trigger. The RSI around 55.25 suggests neutral momentum with a slight bullish tilt.　　CCIP Growth Gives LINK a Stronger Cross-Chain Network Case　　Chainlinks fundamentals continue to build behind the short-term chart. Its Q1 review showed that the CCIP transfer volume rose 78% quarter over quarter and 319% year over year. The report said active tokens on CCIP increased by more than 165% year over year. Fee revenue also rose 213% quarter over quarter.　　This growth matters because CCIP supports secure token transfers across public and private chains. Developers use it for DeFi flows, wrapped assets, stablecoins, and tokenized finance workflows. As more assets move onchain, cross-chain messaging becomes a bigger part of market infrastructure.　　Chainlink also strengthened

Ferrari stock crashes 6% after unveiling its first EV

On May 26, the legendary Italian car company Ferrari (BIT: RACE, NYSE: RACE) demonstrated that the electric vehicle (EV) slowdown remains a major concern in 2026 as it opened severely in the red upon unveiling its latest automobile.　　Specifically, the firm introduced its very first EV, , designed by – a company founded by Apples (NASDAQ: AAPL) former Chief Design Officer Jonathan Ive, and former blue-chip tech giant designer Marc Newson – on Monday, and swiftly faced a mixed reaction.　　Despite the design efforts and Ferrari‘s prestige, the car itself was equally praised as a ’game-changer‘ and compared to Jaguar’s troubled rebranding, ultimately ensuring the announcement led to substantial stock market losses.　　Indeed, RACE shares plunged 6.29% from €310 at the start of the day to €290.50 at press time in the Italian stock market on Tuesday, May 26.　　Ferrari stock price one-day chart for the Italian Stock Exchange.

ATOM Price Prediction: $2.30 Resistance Test or $1.92 Support Break Within Days

Cosmos has established a defined trading range between $2.00 and $2.19, with price action suggesting institutional accumulation rather than retail speculation. The token sits above key moving averages while maintaining elevated trading volumes that indicate serious positioning by larger market participants.　　Current price levels represent a convergence of multiple timeframes, where short-term resistance meets longer-term support structures. This technical setup typically precedes significant directional moves as the market resolves the underlying supply and demand imbalance that has kept ATOM range-bound.　　Technical Indicator Convergence　　Multiple momentum indicators are approaching decision points simultaneously. The Relative Strength Index shows buyers remain engaged without reaching overbought territory, while moving average convergence divergence patterns suggest momentum is building beneath the surface. Blockchain.news technical analysis indicates these conditions often precede volatile price movements.　　Bollinger Bands have contracted around current price levels, creating a squeeze formation that historically leads to expansion phases. The combination of tightening volatility bands and neutral momentum readings creates an environment where small catalysts can trigger large moves in either direction.　　Price Target Analysis　　The immediate resistance zone sits at $2.23, representing the first hurdle for any bullish continuation. A clean break above this level opens the path toward $2.30, where more substantial selling pressure likely awaits based on

BitMine lost $8 billion on ETH but Tom Lee still made tens of millions

Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies, trailing 12 months. Source: TradingViewTens of millions for Tom Lee　　Five months after those strategic advisor warrants, BitMine asked stockholders to approve a new package for Lee, who had assumed the chairman role.　　Despite BitMines common stock languishing 79% below its 52-week high at the time, a majority of voting power agreed on January 15, 2026.　　The package was worth up to $95 million in cash over five years. BitMine paid $15 million upfront and committed to $20 million more in fixed payments over four years. The remaining $60 million unlocks only if BitMine hits annual revenue hurdles.　　Targets escalate from $200 million in fiscal 2027 to $500 million in fiscal 2030. In addition to the cash, Lee received 1.5 million time-vesting restricted stock units and 4.5 million performance units.　　Performance units vest at $125 and $250 share price targets.　　Curiously, BitMine‘s board justified the lavish deal by calling Lee a uniquely qualified leader. In actual fact, the company’s ETH treasury was already underwater by more than $4 billion at the time of the January vote, and losses have doubled since then.　　Compensation for me, dilution for thee　　BitMines common stock has lost 30% of its value year-to-date, and 88% since its 52-week

Japanese Yen: Bearish bias persist versus US Dollar – UOB

UOBs Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/JPY has stalled into sideways trade after failing to extend losses, with intraday momentum indicators flat. On a 1–3 week view, they still hold a positive US Dollar (USD) bias above strong support, but acknowledge slowing upside momentum. Over the medium term, they see scope for new highs without challenging the 2024 high of 162.00.　　Dollar-Yen holds above key support　　“24-HOUR VIEW: While we indicated yesterday that ”there is a chance for USD to test 158.70,“ we stated that ”a continued decline below this level is unlikely, and the strong support at 158.40 is unlikely to come under threat.“ The subsequent price movements did not unfold as expected. USD dipped briefly to 158.74 and then traded mostly sideways for the rest of the sessions. Momentum indicators are mostly flat, and further sideways-trading appears likely, probably between 158.75 and 159.20.”　　“1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have held a positive USD view since the middle of the month. In our most recent narrative from last Thursday (21 May, spot at 158.85), we highlighted that ”upward momentum continues to slow, and a breach of 158.40 (‘strong support’ level) would shift the outlook for USD from positive to

Oil: Extended Hormuz disruption reshapes energy outlook – Rabobank

Rabobank‘s Michael Every argues that the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely to return to normal operations for up to three months, keeping a significant share of global Oil and gas flows constrained. The report highlights risks of further war, demining delays and potential NATO involvement, and warns of a looming energy crunch that will force a revision of Rabobank’s macro and commodity forecasts.　　Hormuz closure drives energy crunch risks　　“As such, the new base case is that, on balance, Hormuz will not return to normal operation for up to three months (before ending in a ‘disputed’ US victory) – with supply-side damage.”　　“However, in political terms, an oil-for-oil deal gains Iran vital FX but loosens its chokehold on the world economy, which is its best leverage. Once the 1,550 ships trapped behind Hormuz exit with a huge one-off supply of energy, it would find itself in a far weaker bargaining position.”　　“Moreover, in physical terms, demining Hormuz could take longer than 30 days even if Iran has a better idea of where it has laid them, before drift, than the US does. Some estimates are it could take six weeks, which would already mean mid-July as an opening date.”　　“The second option can mean US
